Hi There how is everyone holding on? Well my journey is seek and I will find. Some PCP do not have a clue what going with me. So I had to step up to the plate for answers to my health concerns. Finally saw my Neurologist for the nerves test but they didn't find anything so I am back to square 1. Soon I have an appointment with the doctor Friday and to see what else they can do. The weakness are over my body, the constant sweating is make me sick 🤢.

I need help.

@sheila69wg, I'm sorry to hear your appointment with the neurologist didn't help you find any answers to what is causing your symptoms. Hopefully your upcoming appointment with your primary care doctor will be able to figure out what is causing your symptoms. Mayo Clinic has some information on Excessive Sweating that might be helpful - https://www.mayoclinic.org/symptoms/excessive-sweating/basics/causes/sym-20050780.

Have you thought about seeking help at a teaching hospital or major health facility like Mayo Clinic?

No I haven't. Mayo clinic is in Boston ma right. Where I live is far from Boston. There's so much I need to do in regards to finding a solution but I don't get any incouragement from my providers. Can't wait any longer. Pain and dizziness is out of control. I tried to keep things to myself but I am hurting in silence. The few acquaintances I have are tired of me complaining I suffer in silence I act like its all Good I wish I could cry but I can't because of my eyes problems. All I do is sit and Wait.

Have you seen the Foundation for Peripheral Neuropathy's website? They have some information that you might find helpful including complementary therapies, information for lifestyle changes that may help and other information to learn more about neuropathy.

I was wondering what supplements you are talking about. I take Vitamin B12 high dose and complex B vitamins. What else is help?

They recommend taking 400 mg of CoQ10 and 20 mg of PQQ daily. The neuropathy in my hands is completely gone and my feet are much improved. The majority of the pain in my feet is gone, but I still have numbness in some places. I started this a year after chemo. The hands showed improvement quickly, the feet were slower. But the worst of the pain was gone in 3-4 months. Not an overnight cure, but my pain is gone.
